→Adding New Library Servers
Once one or more systems have been selected as library servers, click ''Next'' to configure the network shares to be used to store the library files. During the preparation of this book, problems were encountered in adding shares during the library server creation process. If you encounter similar problems, shares may be added after the library server has been added by following the steps outlined in the section entitled [['''Adding Shares to a Library Server]]'''.
Once the library server configuration is completed, the new library will appear in ''Library Resources'' pane in the top left hand corner of the VMM Administrator Console:

== Adding Shares to a Library Server ==
VMm Libraries store files in network share folders. Additional shares may be added to a library using the VMM Administrator Console. Before the shares can be added, however, they must first be created on the VMM Library Server host. To do this , enable network sharing and discovery in the system hosting the library, create the folders which are to be shared and then share them by right clicking on the folders, selecting Properties and choosing the ''Share'' tab. More details on how to share folders on Windows Server 2008 can be found in the [http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Windows_Server_2008_File_Sharing Configuring Windows Server 2008 File Sharing] chapter of the [http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Image:Windows_server_2008_essentials.jpg Windows Server 2008 Essentials] online book.
